Emilia, Gobbo embracing another Shakespearian character (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iago

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'another shakespearian character' is the definition.
'iago' can be an answer for 'character' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'another shakespearian' bit.

'emilia gobbo embracing' is the wordplay.
'embracing' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (the solution is embraced by words in the clue).
'IAGO' can be found hidden inside 'emilia gobbo'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for iago that I've seen before include "Shakespearean villain" , "stage villain" , "Organ stop" , "Advisor to soldier" , "Evil character in Othello" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
